Mc Glynn's Bar, Kilburn, NW6

Does what it says on the tin an Irish vibed sports bar. Keg only but does the job with different screens showing a variety of sports.

Not too far a diversion off Kilburn High Rd but no reviews for almost 10 years. This place is pretty much as described below other than the carpet has been removed at the front bar area. The red leather banquettes look in surprisingly good nick perhaps suggesting they have been reupholstered over that time. Quaffs wise as expected Guinness (my choice), John Smith’s plus a small range of lagers including Cruzcampo! The venue was moderately busy with some old timers in to watch the evening racing plus the Spurs v MCity game being shown with a somewhat loud volumes during the build up to the game. No evidence of a remaining dart board here though!

This place was clearly originally built as a pub judging by the external architecture, but there’s now nothing inside of heritage interest. It’s now an Irish bar of course, with all manner of Irish memorabilia inside such as a framed print of Croke Park and license plates bearing the names of Irish counties on the walls. The front end of the room is carpeted; the extended rear is bare-boarded, and furnishings are a mix of normal tables and chairs and red upholstered banquettes. There were TVs on, one inevitably showing the horse racing. There’s no real ale obviously, with John smith’s and bogstandard lagers at £3 a pint. I didn’t notice the Guinness price advertised. No sign of food or menus. These real Irish pubs do have a certain basic charm to them – shame there’s no real ale.

Mc Glynne's Bar is a nice looking pub that is a short walk from kilburn high road. Once inside there is a decent sized single room which is iregular in shape,the bar is to the front right,this area was carpeted,the rear area was bare boarded,the seating was bench type around the edge of the room. There were no real ales on here,i had a drink of John Smiths Extra Cold Crap which lived up to its name. There were a few locals in on my Thursday dinner visit,this is a decent enough pub but was let down badly by the lack of one real ale on the bar. Pub visited 1/5/2014
